of the State an amendment to the constitu
tion. This amendment was ratified at the Oc-
tober election of that year and became and

amendmentthej judicial system was so changed
as to abolish the district court and substitute
the circuit court. The material change con-

three independent judges elected in the cir

Report of Ironten Public School.
MONTH OF FEBRUARY.

Number of days taught, 10; whole number
enrolled, 200; enrolment for the month, 1853;
average daily attendance for the month, lie;
per cent. of attendance, 10; cases Of tardi-
ness, 80; cases of truancy 2; not absent,
24s not tardy, 80; neither absent nor tardy,
S6; visits to the school, 5.
This is by far the worst showing of the
term; but the weather has had its effect, vet
the indifference of pupils and parents is the
greatest evil we have to contend with. The
inyariahle reply of pupils, when asked the
cause of their tardiness, bas been, I" Couldn't
get here sny sooner" IL pRrents will make
1T in fn1ekibIe rune ereequIrf fneis cnfllfeff
to come promptly home FROM school as they
| are ordered By their teachsrs to do, and then
| to see at once to their errands and other
duties in the evening, one bali of the entire
| tardiness Of the school will be done away
with. The fact that large majority of the
pupils were not tardv at all q a good evil
dence that the greater part OF the hardness.
is avoidabie. The few pupils who were
tardy 81 times not only missed lessons, but
by going into their rooms late seriously,
injured the work of the school as whole.
This serious, not to say dangerous, evil can
only he overcome when parents extend to
the teachers hearty hand in their efforts to
break up the habit.
Within the next week the entire school
will be regarded, and pupils who may have
been absent, and who desire to re-enter, can
be provided for without interfering with the
regular workings of the school. The object
of this arrangement is to afford such pupils
emba rassment; also to thoroughly organize
the school as whole, preparatory to next
years work, so that the teachers who may
be in charge can call their rooms to order
and start right in the first day with regular
work, thereby saving time and unnecessary
annoyance to both teachers and pupils.
1t will be greatly to the advantage OF mem
bers of the school, or those who may expect
to become members, to attend regularly
during the remainder Of this school year.
Parents, give us your hearty support Just
for two months, and see il you cannot per-
ceive marked difference. Do not become
more careless as the end draws near, for
your school term is not so long but that
every one ought to attend every day possi-
BILE. A large number of pupils have been
quite regular in attendance, yet il Is safe to
say that equally as many have not averaged
more than half time, while majority have
attended so irreguarly that their work has
been difficult and unpleasant, both to them
selves and their teachers. This is the lasr
appeal we expect to make. We teachers
propose to do our whole duty, and we give
parents the credit of knowing their duty to
themselves, their children, and the school.
After this our reports win be made in the
regular way, giving list of pupils not absent
or tardy, and each pupil should take pride
in being one of the list.
Respectfully submitted,
A. p. VANCE, Principal.
